The gloves are off… EOS and Steem are in competition and it’s great news for us

harpooninvestor (47) · 7 years ago

It's a valid point there will be much more competition to Steem in the future, and if Steem doesn't change for the better to somehow give more credit to valid high-quality content, it won't survive a competitive attack. What do you think would be the most effective change to make to get Steem to a better place, in terms of having higher quality content? The severe amount of gaming, occuring, has an adverse effect on content and new PASSIVE (people who want to consume good content, not attempt to make money) users wanting to participate.

For example, we've noticed outsiders have VERY little incentive to sign up for Steem, unless they want to make a comment. But to make a comment, one has to do the cumbersome sign-up process, which is always a hurdle and prevents us from engaging in PLENTY of websites.

You should compare EOS and steem, not EOS and steemit.

Right! I was looking for something like that! EOS is the underlying network and there would still have to be a social media platform to come later. It is the network effect and steemit does have an advantage there. But I say diversify! Nothing wrong adding 1 or 2 other channels! :-)

Really like to see what you produce. Hope the casual reader can make comments and possibly become a more serious 100% sign-up at a later time. We always favor content sites where we can make Anonymous comments without a cumbersome sign-up process. But we also dig the ranking-system of making comments come in higher as people value them. This has been sorely missing in many many content sites, thus one has to "mine" laboriously for good content in the comments section. We say this bc we LOVE comment sections, and mostly find them to be more useful than articles. But on Steem, it's filled with lackeys and sychophants, and thus even with the ranking system it sorta fails.

Also, we shamelessly use self-voting, simply to get higher in comments sometimes, or get noticed, but kinda hate ourselves for doing it, and wouldn't mind it going away.

I volunteer to be a beta tester for @SteemSmarter. My observation as a regulatory mechanic is that the initial investment required to master Steemit's complexity doesn't produce a corresponding initial reward. Your idea below about using communities of interest to help new users find content equivalents for their old platforms is a way to increase initial rewards until familiarity opens the doors to other types of payoffs.

@harpooninvestor I share this thought with a friend. Although i started last month but registered in December i have been a cryto enthusiast and investor and i have observed steemit's growth from afar. The question is can steemit really survive a competitive attack from a platform whose style is blunt on having top-notch contents? I sometimes get discouraged when i see people post mere useless banners saying thrash on this platform and cart home 100SBD plus and yet great contents managing to churn out 2SBD.

The way it is built it seems that steemit isnt a place you can go to if you just want to consume good content and have no drive to make some dollars. You'll look strange and out of place and by the way wait for almost a week to sign up.

This reminds me of fiverr. Many clones came up immediately fiverr proved a success as one of the leading microjob site in the world. Gigbux, Gigbucks, Zerk, etc also came up but faded out in few months. Why? Fiverr worked on the lapses they see that other thought they could capitalize on.

I wish steemit can be as proactive as possible.

I rest my case for now. Great post @nanzo-scoop

$0.71

harpooninvestor (47) · 7 years ago (edited)

We've heard about fiverr, but is it a crypto site? Might actually prove our point that de-centralized algo-run entities like crypto-ICOs and crypto-companies might have a disadvantage bc they are hard to change (see bitcoin, Lightning Network, Segwit, etc...).
If Fiverr is traditionally run, it's able to adapt more quickly to competitive threats. Dan Larimer himself may have left bc he realized how hard it was going to be to get change done once he saw how his latest experiment (steemit) had flaws he wanted to correct. why else start a whole new platform?

We put our ALL into posts, specifically our content, and would be THRILLED with 2 SBD. So we're not even getting that far. Yet no less than YESTERDAY we saw a steemer named something-geek (can't remember full name, just that geek was in his profile name) who posted a picture of himself on the toilet which made zero sense, but bc he's an old-timer (so mid 2016) on the platform he had a bunch of sychophants upvote him, and he made like $40 USD in about 30 minutes. Think that would fly on regular social media? He'd be crucified and unfollowed by literally everyone on the platform. So we stand by our "danger Will Robinson" stance, Steemit will need to improve a few things to survive a competitive attack by a newer platform who solves some of Steem's problems. Just look at what SNAPchat is doing to Facebook with young users. Zberg grabbed so much money from advertisers, sometimes spamming his own users to gain DAUs, he actually forgot to keep users' best interests in mind and is now losing them.

We're not saying Steemit can't do it, we're simply saying a replacement comes along more often than you think. AltaVista beat the others at search, then came Yahoo, then came Google, and now Twitter and SIRI and Snap and maybe even DuckDuckGo are offering tough competition lately. (check out the difference in the number of ads atop the google search results vs DuckDuckGo-- it's absurd! Google is torching their good brand name right as alternatives are popping up).

nanzo-scoop (74) · 7 years ago

Wherever money can be made, there will be an element of gaming the system for personal gain. I think this is somewhat unavoidable.

There are things that can be improved . As you mention the signup. I'd also like to see the 'Communities' feature implemented as a means to enable people to easily navigate to content they like, rather than the current scatter-gun approach to delivering content to users.

Also more focus on other features of Steem beyond the 'making money' element. For example, censorship resistance and it's qualities as a medium of exchange (no fees, three second confirmation).

harpooninvestor (47) · 7 years ago (edited)

We understand a little bit of gaming, we followed Google since inception. But keep in mind google engineers were ALWAYS re-writing the algos to eliminate the gaming, thus having better pure search results. Crypto due to it's dispersed leadership has problems doing that. Currencies can be changed very little, but ICOs based on actual businesses (like social networking) require constant adjusting, and thus crypto companies actually have a disadvantage vs companies led by visionary single leaders/ceo/founders.

We'd settle for just some better search, the search is awful on Steemit. We have trouble even finding sports, or worse trying to just find ONE sport only. We don't like English Premiere League, for instance, but you can't get sports in a Steemit feed without it.

phoneinf (72) · 7 years ago

Good point about the incentive. It's true that it can be optimized a bit to make it a bit more clear what will be the benefits of being a member. With some better marketing. The sign up process of getting an account and be approved clearly needs to be faster in the future. But sign in to other websites I haven't found to be an issue since you can save your details. And it doesn't take that long to even input your information.

Right now on Steemit clearly to be rewarded it's best to focus on the comment section and produce high-quality content there. Isn't that 75% of the value of a blog post page anyway. Most want to hear other peoples opinions. The comment section is underrated.

Perhaps some recommendation engine on the side would be a good idea. Of articles created in the last 7 days. Like YouTube does with videos. That would surely increase the engagement. How passive new users will be can be interesting to see. Since they are used to that on the other platforms. Will they keep that behaviour on Steemit or will more switch into an engaged mode and produce value?

Isn't the biggest value on this site still that you can build more trustful connections with other people by using trust and reputation as a system? Since that can truly create lifetime connections! To create a competitor site to Steemit you would need more geeks right? Since there is lots of technical things that needs to be done right. Think that is why the market in competition has been so slow to react. It's just too complicated still!

Hey @nanzo-scoop,
I think you have already said it all in this writeup;

However I believe that competition brings out the best in people. I’m sure Ned will have the bit between his teeth to ensure that SMTs are a success. I’m equally sure Dan will try to pull out the stops to show-off EOS as the ‘platform of platforms’ using a 'Steemit alternative' as a shop window..

Even though we all obviously love Steem & Steemit, we need @Ned to stand up to the game and pursue this SMTs & Communities with all his zest. Enough of dilly-dallying and wasting time.

This time I think the winner takes it all. Myspace had a headstart on Facebook but look where they are now- obsurity. Lets not allow history repeat itself.

@Dan is a masterchef when it comes to cooking all these sort of stuffs. And the financial muscles he has on EOS can actually pull all stops.

The best game for me will be that both of them lovingly compete. I definitely don't need all this hatred and all-what-not between them.

Thanks for raising this question bro. Cheers!

I have seen some Steemit alternatives although developed on ERC20. A bad idea in my humble opinion.

Will be interesting to see how long time it will take before even building platforms like Steemit will be easy with some software. How will you still be able to bring many people to one specific place? I like what you said in a video on YouTube that the real currency in our age is Time and Attention.

Since our attention is so valuable we want to get maximum value back in return. Now Steemit is helping us by rewarding our attention with instant value as in upvotes. Since stuff currently stand with being a bit complicated it holds back some progress. But clearly it must be only a time when these things will truly be sped up. What society that will create is going to be interesting to see.

You're right this is going to be very interesting. Not just because there will be competition, but think about this. . .

I know that Google was not the first search engine, but they're they were the first to do it a new way, and look everyone is trying to catch them now.

True the rival aspect is a big one for males to get some serious motivation to engage in creating something of high value.

If all goes smooth all the time usually that won't really be motivating to do interesting innovation.

Haha to the moon I am in on that! 🚀

After been producing content for over 10 years on YouTube I see what an amazing opportunity Steemit is if you get in early! Most people take this service for granted and have no idea how much you had to work to generate value on the other platforms! After you know what grind is then you will work hard at building up your Steemit to be in the top 1% of accounts! 😺

EOS is also super exciting clearly Dan is a genius. I think everything he will touch will turn into pure gold. Will invest in EOS if my Steem make some sick gains, I think!

mexbit (60) · 7 years ago

There are advantages and disadvantages... for example the (10%?) inflation in EOS goes to miners who hold the RAM and other Computer Equipment. In Steem the main part of the 10% inflation goes to authors.
This is something that I think is very important to consider.

The very basis is somehow different, and if you build an app on that you will have to hold more and more EOS while your app grows in transactions. If other application grow even faster, the price to run your application might rise disproportionately.

andrejcibik (65) · 7 years ago (edited)

Inflation of EOS will be 5% maximaly. Its flexible.
Steem will have 1% fixed infl. to forever. ....eventually. Im not sure how much is it right now, 9%?....

Will you? Network capacity will grow with token price. Miners will have to expand accordingly to have enough storage.

If your app grows - you make more money (this is up to you), you can afford more EOS tokens. If it doesnt - you dont need more resources. Quick maths :D

But with regards to new competitors (including @dan), if given a choice, those of us who can help you succeed will follow the one who truly cares about making everyones lives better, not the one who cares more about being right. I hope that you care more about the good you can do than about a few doubts caused my misunderstandings or even misinformation.

I may just be a minnow right now, but I appreciate both of you regardless of what comes.

I think it’s more that I’m incapable of understanding the nuances of tokens. He didn’t claim to me that he came up with the idea for SMTs, he just told me his idea before SMTs were announced and I thought they really sounded similar when I learned about SMTs. I’m sorry if I’m spreading rumors here. I won’t bring this up again, as I don’t know enough to make such claims.

Artist tokens on Muse pre-date SMT's so don't worry....SMT's were not a new idea, they seem to be an attempt to deal with (or hide) some of the negative aspects of the imbalance of economic incentives at play on steem that result primarily from the poor distribution.

I can see where you are coming from but as far as I can see, this is just kind of how capitalism works. Patch up wounds instead of exposing them and recognizing the cause (fundamental assumptions about society and human nature)

It’s difficult for me to debate these topics on steemit or in the crypto scene as my starting point is not ancap or libertarian like most of the established community here.

I truly appreciate this whole experiment (steemit) experiment as this whole transition between capitalism 1.0 and 2.0 (the Wild West of crypto) may assist me in stepping outside of capitalism all together, working my way through it rather than being crushed under it, maybe buying up some land and resources one day and starting my own version of “how things should be”. It’s a plan that doesn’t see, to contradict with the ancaps and libertarians here.

That’s me though.

Tokens in general pre date Muse and BTS UIAs back to the 90s just ask Ian Grigg. Further they date back to counterparty and Omni if including Bitcoin only. Then, I dare you to read the SMT paper and understand the concepts that haven’t been melded before rather than being a good fudster. Sad! To see lack of understanding.

benjojo (70) · 7 years ago

ned, I do not for one second dispute that tokens pre-date muse artists tokens. I have read the SMT whitepaper and understand many of the concepts. I take issue with you labeling me as a fudster. It is positively excruciating to see such a lack of sense and fairness continually exhibited by the CEO of the organisation with the most massive control over the fate of this network. If you disagree with me fine, but the truth of my integrity is in the blockchain. So is the truth of yours.

benjojo (70) · 7 years ago

I've just re-read the SMT's whitepaper and I must admit, I do struggle to see the innovations that are not combinations of what has come before. I'm simply not technically astute enough to see them if they are there. However, I couldn't care less if there is true innovation in the speculation of a whitepaper. What I do care about are the risks given the current state of the economics in Steem and the potential risks due to regulation.

@whatamidoing

Not sure about this but I think SMTs may actually be fuzzy’s idea, at least I heard him talking about making whaleshares into something similar and how he kept pushing the idea on Ned.

SMTs are on a whole 'nother level.

Whaleshares is an issued Token from BTS - which has no value and is completely redundant. SMTs in comparison are native Tokens on STEEM, with a lot of added benefits, which will enrich the STEEM-Ecosystem.

@ned

Amen to that!

In both comments: I don't want credit for inventing "Tokens" as a concept in the sense they can become a blank slate for many many things. And I certainly don't want some random person claiming they should get credit for steemit's work by disregarding the first of its kind work steemit has done bringing unique combinations of token nuances and infrastructure together. The dirty down low you can let them know about with SMTs: never before has a blockchain-based token launching system and DEX included native contracts for Proof of Brain tokens, nor out of the box ICO contracts, nor Reward Sharing of tokens through interfaces, nor Automated Market Makers for tokens, nor Bandwidth conference based on Automated Market Makers, nor designated Influence Sharing across Tokens. At a higher level, if we must, no blockchain has ever enabled multiple Proof of Brain tokens to integrate through applications, though that higher level summary doesn't give credence enough to the importance of the deeper layer of token nuances.

If you say there are nuanced innovations to the way you are deploying SMT's, I accept that. I do. I may have the capacity to comprehend them given time and practical experience of them in action but I'm well aware of my limitations so I accept what you are saying at face value. Please Ned, understand that I want steem to succeed. I want EOS to succeed also and many other promising projects and communities. If you feel defensive because I have tried to call you out on behaviour I thought was beneath your standing or because I call attention to issues, I can understand that. I am sorry. I promise you that my only intention is to see steem and steemians flourish. I have made a suggestion for radically improving the economics using the steemit.inc controlled steem and the community.

Wow... this is eyeopening... as someone that doesn't know either and relatively new, I'm surprised that this rift occurred. Is EOS currently up and running like steemit? If so, have you seen any migration from authors here? Also, where would you suggest would be a good place to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each?

I'm a huge believer that social media will end up on the blockchain versus in the hands of the large oligarchs (zuck and crew)... I wasn't aware though that steem partners had split. So I'd be very interested in both platforms.

EOS is meant to be the equivalent of an operating system for a blockchain so developers don't have to learn the underlying program thereby getting an easier way to develop apps. That is not supposed to go live until later this year. Meanwhile, Dan can also spend some of his considerable capital on developing a social media platform that rides on EOS, perhaps providing a means for accelerated development that will take the social media platform farther and faster than steemit could ever do with its reliance on C++ developers.

The biggest problems Steemit has are the following:

Rewarding quality content
Accumulation of power

Number 1 can be affected by the community in some. Im a minnow that gets little attention except for a very kind whale that supported me from the start, (thx @vortac 😁 )but i take it upon myself to try and encourage some minnows to create more, those that create great content no one ever sees.
Whats happening is that people keep coming here, they write 2-3 posts, work hard on them and never learn about the networking aspect of Steemit. Never learn about discord or its various channels. Never learn about bots, competitions. Etc. They see that 0.00 payout and thinknto themselves why bother.

I am not a brilliant blog writer but are on steemit to earn some steem and read some nice blogs and do some competitions especially the one's @papa-pepper host.

I can guarantee you that 95% of all the users on Steemit are here to earn some steem as we market this space "why blog for free join steemit.com"
Not all of them are writers but we need the community to grow and have to accommodate them for the well being and growth of Steemit.
But in my opinion Steemit is very mush who you know and not what you post but that is life...

EOS is an amazing breakthrough for blockchain technology. Sorting out scale ability and transaction speed is definatley going to be the game changer in the Crypto Arena . With simplifying it for developers to use the EOS platform , developers are going to rush to the EOS platform...
The @ned and @dan saga is not my place to comment but they should sort there differences out and get on with creating life changing platforms.
I love Steemit and think why recreate the wheel ,Steemit belongs on EOS as EOS will be the future, the backing and team behind EOS is revolutionary and i don't believe in the near future they will be easily overtaken as they are the leaders in this space as Steemit is the leading social media platform.

It's both interesting and likely good for all of us that conflicts result in new and divergent developments.

However, I have to voice some concern over @dan's philosophizing, beginning a couple of months ago, about "radical transparency:"

I take issue with the views he expresses in that article and its sequel, simply because in my much longer lifetime, I've never seen a human government that could be trusted with complete knowledge of its citizens.

In my not so humble opinion, we need radical transparency for government, and radical privacy for individuals.

I don't think there is a competition really. EOSbit is made to power your articles on steem about eos and dapps. These UIA(?) are to be traded on bitshares. So... no not at the moment. The current total marketcap is small enough to have such potential of growth for both or all projects made by Dan and others that it is not really relevant who is going to win.

If someone with you’re experience and success on Steemit feels this is a good thing then that does put my mind at ease. I suppose without competition there is no need to make Steemit better. I spent my first two weeks with a head in the clouds attitude about steemit and now I’m starting to learn about what it’s really about, I am a little more grounded about my expectations now. I’m really optimistic still! I’m trying to think of Steemit now like Facebook was in its infancy, there are still things that need to be tweaked but it is already revolutionary. 2018 is definitely going to be an interesting year for steemit and crypto in general!

I am still new on steemit and probably still finding my foot here. One thing that drew my interest here is reward for quality content. Quodus to steemit inventor but my perception about life is anything that will improve the lifes of individuals; intellectually and economically should be encouraged. If any other platforms comes up to compete with steemit, its will be an opportunity (for steemit) to be on its toes to improve in areas competitor spot weaknesses.

IMO., and I say this respectfully: your dismissal of greed and avarice via economic coercion as human nature is simply misleading. There is no particular reason that humans with advanced neo-frontal cortex capability have to put aside the faculties of reason and logic and function off lowly evolved reptilian limbic system functions via predatory economic models.
Let's get one thing clear on Darwinism from a spiritual perspective: it's a fallen condition! We are not to act like animals from any coherent spiritual perspective.
